Prospective NJCU Students

At NJCU, we take your college search as seriously as you do. Whether you’re transitioning from high school to higher education, an NJCU transfer student, or a working adult striving to achieve more in today’s global economy, your goals and dreams are important. We understand – and the New Jersey University admissions faculty and staff are experts at making them a reality.

The cost of higher education likely factors heavily in your decision-making process, whether you’re a recent high school graduate, college graduate, veteran, transfer student, or working adult juggling career and family responsibilities. NJCU believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to pursue his or her dreams for quality undergraduate, graduate, or continuing education; ours is arguably the best value in the New Jersey university system.

Where there’s a will, there is generally a way; 85% of our undergraduate students receive financial assistance.

NJCU Transfer Students

We have a long history of accommodating transfer requests. We know what financial aid, scholarships and federal/state grants and loans are available for transfer students. As you plan your transfer, New Jersey City University counselors will help you identify and apply for the undergraduate, graduate or certificate program that best meets your needs and situation.
